Product Description
John Woo Presents: Strangehold continues the story of a classic piece of hard-boiled Hong Kong action -- "Hard Boiled," starring Chow Yun-Fat. Experience a world only previously seen in movies, as you control incredible gun battles and dramatic slow motion in Tequila Time. Stranglehold redefines the action gaming experience with its acrobatic gunplay, thrilling cinematography, frenetic combat and incredible Massive Destructibility (Massive D). Chow Yun-Fat reprises his signature role as Inspector Tequila, pitting gamers as a take no-prisoners cop waging a personal war with Hong Kong crime lords. Tequila's loyalties to the force are tested when his ex-wife is kidnapped by the Russian mob in Chicago. Tequila struggles to balance his duty to uphold the law with doing what it takes to save his family. Carve a unique path of massive destruction and use the environment as a weapon against your enemies. The highly modified Unreal 3.0 engine breathes new life into game environments and characters with stunning graphics & an ever-changing battleground

 interesting March 31, 2008
i found this game in a bargain bin for 25 bucks an decided to pick it up i was actually really impressed the first hour or so playing it and really enjoyed it but after awhile there was just so much stuff goin on onscreen that i started to get a headache lol and i found the never having to reload kinda cheesy along with the endless amount of enemies flooding out of random doors a lil repetative but all in all i really enjoyed the action movie style stunts and destructable environments really fun theres just so much on screen commotion
Fun but ... March 23, 2008
Stranglehold was fun to play but I found it too simple after playing for a few hours. I just wanted to get it over with. After completing Halo 3, Bioshock and Mass Effect I was looking for something to tide me over until the next "best" FPS came along. Stranglehold filled that spot.
I passed it along to my grandson. I think he will get a kick out of the slow motion and trick moves. It is rated "Mature" but I did not see anything that offensive, not like Gears of War anyway.

I like 3rd person shooters but this game is terrible... Bad graphics, horrible playability... DO NOT BUY. Rent if you want to try it... you will get tired of it soon...
 EXPLOSIONS GALORE! 8 OUT OF 10 November 23, 2007
Stranglehold is all about explosions, fast gunplay, fast covering moves, pretty graphics, and cool combat moves. One of my favorite moments during this game is when my pistols would zoom in on a target I was aiming at, go slo-mo, and then literally watch my bullet guide itself to my target resulting in cool headshots in which my enemy would scream in agony before dying. The gunplay is excellent and easily makes you forget Midway's critically ashamed Hour of Victory's terrible gameplay. Other cool moves include diving over tables and other objects while going slo-mo blasting your enemies. You also get other upgrades to your abilities which makes the action all the more lucious. However there are certain things that prevent this game from being perfect. The missions at times feel generic(destroy a certain number of drug labs or boats) and the diving mechanic can be unwanted because the game does it for you when your moving to the side and you accidently touch a table. You don't really notice these problems to which is an otherwise amazing display of how far action can be done in a game.
